Patrice Motsepe is edging closer to a personal milestone few on the continent have reached. As his fortune hovers just below the 4 billion mark, the mining magnate has moved ahead of Koos Bekker to become South Africas third-richest man, according to Forbes . Motsepes net worth is pegged at 3.9 billion, narrowly placing him ahead of Bekker after shifts in listed share prices altered the balance between two of the countrys most influential business figures.
At the time of drafting, both men were valued at an identical 3.9 billion. Yet Forbes real-time rankings place Motsepe ahead, reflecting a 33.3 million increase in his fortune over the past 24 hours, compared with a 48.5 million decline for Bekker. The change lifts Motsepe to 1,035th place on the Forbes list of the worlds richest people, while Bekker slips to 1,041st.
